One question though, what's the theory behind this exotic scale? I mean, what's the structure of the scale?
krudtaa22nd October 2007Sounds really great. looking forward to more from you. thanks.
jammer9122nd October 2007It does sound middle eastern. Great job man.
Muris Varajic22nd October 2007Great first lesson Hisham,burning shred!!

Juan M. Valero22nd October 2007Very cool first lesson !!!!! congratulations, it's an interesting lesson
mattacuk22nd October 2007I cannot express how cool that is !
murphy3323rd October 2007that was a different one for sure, maybe play slow on playback and not slow-mo? hard to see and hear on slow-mo
drummingguitarist0623rd October 2007Holy cow. The camera lags it's so fast lol. Nice work, and welcome to GMC!
Understudy23rd October 2007Hisham your sound coupled with those scales is insane ! I totally dig this lesson, I hope there are more to come. Your sound and progression are magnetic man , great work
- Ayen23rd October 2007
Wow! Great first lesson there Hisham, I wish I could play that fast. Hell, I wish I could see that fast!
Good job, keep it up! 
coffeeman23rd October 2007Nice lesson and nice scale but the videos in slow motion have a bad sound. Can you fix that?
SLASH9123rd October 2007^^I know, man, thats pretty insane. Great first lesson.
KRmachine22nd October 2007This scale consists of the following notes, if you apply western classical theory to it:
root
minor 2nd
major 3rd
perfect 4th
perfect 5th
minor 6th
major 7th
so the differences from a major scale would be the 2nd and 6th are lowered a half step.
shredmandan23rd October 2007Very nice Style man!

One question ?Why does the video break at 34 sec and then come back in with you playing the next part?I even thing it does it 3 times throughout the whole video.Are you just layering the lesson or video and not playing it all at once?
Hisham Al-Sanea23rd October 2007thanks for all in GMC. really glad to me thats you likes my first lesson .just want to say: in this lesson i used two cameras sencronized to cakewalk sonar6 producer edition so you can produce audio /video in a good way.
"also many thanks to kristofer for his support"
see you in the nex lesson- KRmachine22nd October 2007
Could you fix the slow videos so it's you actually playing it slow instead of just slowing it down with software? It doesn't sound very good at all right now, and is hard to follow.

Marcus Lavendell23rd October 2007Great song Hisham!! and you got a really interesting + cool picking technique

Hisham, congrat to great lesson! Just one tech question: How do you sync the audio and video in Cakewalk Sonar PE? I guess the secret lies around using smtpe, but dont know how to do it.
Cheers,
Attila 
ibanezkiller25th October 2007AMAZING !

thanks for you fordperfect5
you asked about sync the audio and video first you need a hard ware conecting to the camera & to the PC
so audio going direct to the audio card to the PC and the video to the cameras and then mix every thing on sonar .cach it
nice to meet you againAMAZING !

Hi Hisham - I love this lesson. My main problem is that I don't have high speed internet where I practice so I use guitarpro for learning. I love the guitarpro tabs you did for your last lesson and I am wondering if you are going to tab this lesson in a similar fashion.
Hope so - I am looking forward to your next lesson. - Hisham Al-Sanea8th August 2008Hi Hisham - I love this lesson.

Hi GMC - my name is Hisham Al-sanea. This is first time for me at GMC. So I want to show you how to pick an "ajosha" scale in E as a melody. The ajosha scale is common in the Middle East where I am living.
I use my fender Stratocaster with dimarzio hum-pickups and lagg spit fire preamp Tube gives a nice and warm sound.
I hope to enjoy my first lesson!
